2025 Road Worlds ***Spoilers***

[No Ta Doctor]

Toro has gone too deep

"Oh damn, I guess I'd better just help my trade team captain and hope to hang on for a medal then"

Looks like Belgium, Italy and Ozzies are organising an actual chase now - 52" behind.

Not sure anyone is going to be faster than Pog over the climbs though, the chase risks losing engines if they go too hard.
Short of a bonk I think Pog's got this now.

Rog is in a good position here. Just sit in and follow any chasers. Good chance of a podium and, if the front two do get caught, even more.

Vine cramps?

 

[Pross]

Aussies burning through their options. The gap has dropped a bit. Is that Girmay back on the ‘peloton’? Thought he got dropped early on the big climb.

 

[mididoctors]

Matthews done

Time is coming down ., will the chase run out of riders,?

 

[mididoctors]

Yes by the looks of it

Alfred Brockwell Wright?!

Remco banging the nose of his saddle in a way that could cause a major incident if he missed

Del Toro double leg puncture. Pog unsure what to do

 

[N0bodyOfTheGoat]

Pog goes or Toro dead?

 

[mididoctors]

Toro paying for the effort

 

[No Ta Doctor]

Del Toro blows, that's going to make it tougher for Pog now - he wanted him with him but couldn't slow that much

Best part of 80km solo with a reasonably organised bunch behind

Alfred Brockwell Wright?!

Sounds like a 19th century Tory MP
